Feminist organizations across Latin America observed the Global Day of Action for Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion (28S) through protests and conferences to demand reproductive rights. In Colombia, demonstrators in Bogotá marched to defend the right to abortion up to 24 weeks, citing concerns regarding potential legal rollbacks under the government of Abelardo de la Espriella and existing administrative or geographic barriers for rural, indigenous, and migrant populations. In Mexico, activists in Mexico City and Querétaro held demonstrations to demand the decriminalization of abortion in seven states where local laws have not yet aligned with federal rulings. In the Yucatán Peninsula, groups specifically demanded better supplies of mifepristone and misoprostol. In Ecuador, activists in Quito called for full decriminalization, noting that current laws can lead to prison sentences, clandestine procedures, and medical stigma, while the healthcare system faces challenges regarding medical records and rural access. In Argentina, the day involved protests against budget cuts to sexual health services under the administration of Javier Milei; activists noted that while the law allows for the voluntary interruption of pregnancy up to 14 weeks, access remains uneven due to a lack of ~~supplies.~~ supplies and inconsistent implementation across provinces. Additional regional actions included groups in Chile demanding that Congress protect funding for reproductive health in the 2027 budget, and activists in Bolivia emphasizing the need for safe access to protect adolescents from the consequences of early pregnancy.
